Some people like "Whaletails". Personally I think the DoelFin brand is the best, and I have had one on every boat I owned since 1985. Lower planing speed and less bow rise on acceleration are my reasons for their use.

This year we upgraded to a 2017 150 Montauk. I have read reports that they are under-powered, and some have suggested different props, etc.

For our boating style, she performs just fine. I wouldn't say she is under-powered, but she is not a speed demon either. She is a little slow out of the hole, but not unmanageable. Bow rise is also minimal. My only wish is that she would stay on plane a little easier. In heavy seas I seem to be constantly adjusting the throttle, while that has not been an issue for me before.

I would like her to plane at a lower speed and stay on plane better. My experience with other boats is that a hydrofoil does the trick.

So, my question is....does anyone have any experience with a 'foil on a 150 Montauk?
